A Walk Through the Neighborhood in Wilhelmsruh
The Bergmann-Borsig State-Owned Enterprise (VEB) was a model enterprise in the GDR. However, during the popular uprising of June 17, 1953, large segments of the workforce joined the rebels.

Bernt Roder, director of the Museum Pankow, leads a tour of the grounds of the former VEB and explains how the events of June 1953 affected the factory.
The tour also focuses on trade unionist Heinz Brandt, who resisted two German dictatorships.
The neighborhood walk is organized in cooperation with the Museum Pankow and the Berlin Commissioner for the Reappraisal of the SED Dictatorship (BAB) and is part of the BAB event series “My Neighborhood: Stories of Divided Berlin.”
